Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
Hi all,
I know that I haven't been on here a long time. So I just got back from Thanksgiving holiday with this beauty (and a couple extra pounds:) that my uncle had had in his attic for a long time and had never decided to build it. The [...]
Hello,
I found this model in a garage sale and immediately went back to my memories as a child in the '80: Sail Amsterdam, Sail Rotterdam, Sail Antwerp... The Amerigo always was a sight to be seen. I also visited the ship a couple of times [...]
Rick Wilkes asked for some battleships, so here is one.
I built Trumpeters USS North Carolina in 2008 and she was my first big battleship in 1:350.
The build started with my strengthening the hull, using plastic from the base plate [...]

in that thick book about warships that I borrowed from the Stockholm public library over and over as a kid, I've wanted to build the Takao. She was the meanest and koolest looking ship I had ever [...]

This is Revell's Arizona that I built for the second time. It went together well and before I started I wanted it to be a waterline model. I cut off the bottom half of the hull and I have a hope someday that I will put in a water setting. [...]
When my wife picked up a Lindberg Tugboat for her collection, I noticed the scale was close to the "1/72" boats I had been doing. I thought I'd give one a try, however I didn't want to do the usual, colorful boat on the boxart, [...]
My love for U-Boats started back in the early 70's when I first read Herbert Werner's "Iron Coffins".
I bought Revell's Type IX U-Boat as soon as it was out.
The build was pretty much straight forward. The size of the hull (42 [...]
Built out of box. First time using salt treatment. The conning tower is insignia blue, ya, I couldn't belive it too but according to a couple of sites this was the color. Figures are from Czech Masters with some modification.
